Ind. Law - Telecom bills subject of "Pro and Con" columns
The Indianapolis Star today has pro and con columns on telecommunications deregulation.
A quote from the "pro" column:
The choice is clear: Do we maintain the status quo of arcane and unnecessary regulation that will limit citizens' choices for traditional and newly emerging communications services, or do we provide a climate conducive for communications companies of all shapes and sizes to invest and provide competitive services?A quote from the "con" column:
Ratepayers are in for shock if the state's giant monopoly telephone companies are successful during the 2006 legislative session. Two bills, Senate Bill 245 and House Bill 1279, are being rammed through the Indiana House and Senate at the request of the new AT&T, formerly SBC, and Verizon, which just bought MCI. These bills would allow monopoly telephone companies to set their own rates.
